The debate on the Irish coercion
bill still occupies the time of the
time of the English house of commons
and the government majority graually
decreasing: It is certain however,
that the combination will be strange
enough, when the time for final action
comes, to carry it through. An up
raising of the Irish tenants may be
expected to resist the enforcement Of
this unjust law.

Curing the Measles.

One of the most remarkable patho-
logical cases on record has occurred at
PcrigueuH. A patient in the hospital
suffering from measles jumped out Of
one of the windows at four o'clock in
the morning. and fell a distance of four
or FIVE yards into the garden. He was
at the time at the period of the strongest
eruption. Awakened by the pain caused
by the fall. he walked about in his night
shirt for some time. the thermometer
standing at eight degrees below the
freezing point. until he succeeded in
waking the concierge. when he re-
turned to bed. The next day his conf
plant had entirely disappeared. This
mode of cure. however, is not gener-
ally recommended by the faculty.

Sad Story Of . Faithful Wife Who Tried
| Life ON the Plains.
After telling Of. . young couple
brought up to luxury who thought they
would rough-it ON the plains. CORE
spC ndent thus continues his story:
40 the reader who has been accus-
toned to dwelling in populous sections,
no adet uate idea of the utter loneliness
of q residence in the Far West can be
formed. The disconsolate wife. unable
to obtain assistance in her hour of need.
now remained faithfully watching by
the bedside Of the dying man. who APP
peared to entertain . peculiar dread Of
being buried alive. Promise me-. he
said to his wife some hours before his
death. that you will not see me buried
for at least four days after have
breathed my LAST to which request the
poor woman tearfully asscnted. All
through the day and during the earlier
portion of the night the woman sat
alone with her dead. while without, and
as though already seeming their prey.
Il pack Of hungry coyotes circled about
the isolated abode, ever and anon Civ
ing vent to their peculiar and blood
curdling cries. At nine O'Clock small
party of miners. including our guides,
Wood and Armstrong, called on the
way TO Cheyenne.
1.-The sad story was soon told and
early on the following morning one Of
the party was sent to Horse Greek for
the purpose of obtaining the material
for coffin. During all this time the
widow sat by the bedside of her dead
husband. at times scrutinizing the fca-
lures of the latter and momentar ly
starting up as if she fancied she de-
tected signs of returning animation.
Kit Armstrong, from whom received
whatever information is here afforded
concerning this sad episode, together
with his companion. Wood, remained
during the four days following the
death Of the man as described. On tho
last night of their vigil the woman,
worn out from constant watching, con.
scented to take some rest while toward
morning both Of the watchers also fell
asleep.
ut is not known at what hour the
supposed corpse became again animated
with life, but it was found upon inves-
tigation that the body had at sorae
time during the night partially turned
in the coffin in which it had been
placed. although the features still boro
the same placid expression they had
worn the day previous. The discovery
of this dreadful circumstance proved
too much for the afflicted wife. who en-
tirely lost her reason and who thence
forth roamed about in the vicinity OF
her late home, being generously af-
forded shelter by those who had pur-
chased the ranch, and superstitiously
avoided by Indians, who regarded her
with awe.-Boston Commercial Bulletin.

Marrow of the Modern Novel.

Given an active affinity (male) and q
passive affinity Qemale). The active
affinity has positive value. but in
presence of the passive affinity it loses
all estimation of this value, and be-
lieves the value of the passive affinity
to be inestimable. The passive affinity
has no value, and knows it. but it is
able to attract the active affinity by an
ingenious display of vacuity Of lue.
When he is drawn within the limits Of
her attraction his condition is hopeless.
and a fusion (marriase) is inevitable.
Should another passive affinity Of
greater vacuity be present, the active
affinity is lost quantity. for if ono
vacuity does not absorb his value. an-
other one will.-Charles Dudley War
